“INDIANA SPIRIT
QUEST”
The Indiana Spirit Quest series of
geocaches will take you to a number of small, rural, historic
cemeteries built by Hoosier (What's a hoosier?) Pioneers in
central/Northeast Indiana. You can map out a route and get a bunch
of ‘em in one trip and at the same time learn a little about our
past.

”Git Along 'Lil Doggies!"
Rollin',Rollin', Rollin'; Keep those
doggies Rollin, Keep those doggies rollin', Rawhide! Don't try and
understand 'em, just rope and tie and brand 'em!...
Now you guys just do what I tell you and
you're gonna be OK. This here boothill, the home of 238 souls
buried between 1850 and 1926, is smack dab in the middle of a cow
pasture! So, what you do is, climb the thoughtfully provided
stairway over the fence (I forget what they call these things).
STILE! That's what it is. Anyway, cross carefully, watch yourstep
and use the railing, so you don't slip and fall. Then, proceed
promptly, without any lollygaggin' around, and without steppin' on
any cow paddies, to the gate of Cripe (aka Frantz,Tunker, Dunkard)
Cemetery, open it and enter into HAMBURGER HILL. (Note how the
chain was secured in the slot, and secure it the same way, to lock
yourself in, and the bovines out.) If you see any bulls on the way
in, don't wave anything red at 'em!
Log Date: 10/16/2005 Well, whats to say about this one? It's
simply one of the most memorable ISQ's we've done and NOT TO BE
MISSED! I won't be forgetting this location, that's for
darn sure... it's about as "rural" (and unusual) as you kin git!
Hutt and I stopped off here, had a great big laugh, and then we
toured the location "in Style"! Simply wonderful spot for a cache
of any kind, and certainly one of the top ten ISQ's in our opinion.
Thanks for a GREAT cache, SixDog!!! - Genius Loci ('the Guardian
Spirit of a Place')
SECURE THE GATE BEHIND YOU
Don't let the cattle into the cemetery!!
This is an old place, up on a hill, not an active buriel ground. NO
COW TIPPING ALLOWED!! LEAVE THE DOG IN THE CAR!! DON'T MOO AT THE
COWS!!
WHEN YOU LEAVE, MAKE
SURE THE GATE IS SECURE, TIGHTLY.
The cache container WAS
a 35mm film can. It was thrown away by a geocacher. We
replaced it with a black m&m minies tube. Please replace
it just as you found it, so the squirrels, ferrets, skunks,
veal and coons can't get to it. BYOP. Park with care.
Has I.U. changed the name of their football team to the
"Fighting DiNardo's"? Go Gators! As always, please be
respectful, and cache in, trash out.
Hoo-Yah!!
